Pattern? Nah, I just made it up as I went along, she says, waving a hand languidly.

(Truth is, I frogged and restarted several times before I was happy with the width of the scarf, and the ‘frill’. It was a good thing it turned out long enough to get around my neck, or I might have chucked a tanty.)

I’ve not been all that satisfied with using buttons to keep neckwarmers in place so far, so I decided to sew this one together. Then I tried it on… or rather, I tried to try it on, but it wouldn’t go over my head easily. So I unpicked a few cms and added a button to the top that’s small enough to go through the stitches but large enough to not slip right back out again.

Now that it’s done, I really like it. In one of those wierd coincidences, I happened to be wearing something that it coordinated with perfectly today. Not just the same dark green, but both have an asymmetrical look – and one slants one way while the other slants the other way. I’ll have to remember that next time I wear that jumper… outside the house… on a cold enough day for scarves.

I should have the other Old Yarn project done soon. Just the armbands to go. Then maybe I’ll look at the Not As Old As The Yarn I Just Knit But Still Pretty Old yarn.
